Yummy Yummy

Today i would like to show you something that was put together really fast, and a first at Pretty Pressings :-) a recipe! Tilda was already colored ( you can see the green colors in the coloring were supposed to match the DP i had planned to use her for) and cut out. A friend did a favor for me – she took my boys since i had trouble with the car. So, to give her a little something when she brought the kids back i have made those muffins.
To decorate one of the little bags, I stamped the Magnolia “loveletter” (Valentines or Love Collection) with brown Memento onto a cut out Oval shape from Neenah White paper (left the Nestabilitie on) added Tilda with pop up dots to the oval and decorated the tag with some Prima roses around the top. Well.. maybe a bit of a waste with the pearl stickers but i just loved the look of it.

So are you ready for my first posted recipe???Adults did like this muffin - for my 3 and 6 year olds they were not sweet enough - they like lots and lots of icing :-) The muffins are made in about 20 –25 minutes

Sweetie

Hello, since iam going to be this month for 3 weeks on vacation i wanted to make something cute and fast. That was the plan, but after i started this tiny card it turned out that i really had to put a lot of playtime into it, just like for a regular 6x6 card. I have made it for Cute Cards Challenge for this week Faux stitching or sewing.. since i sew pretty much on EVERY card, i did want to take on the faux stiching challenge. Every label layer is pierced and i used a black and white pen for the stitching. The images used, are all the very cute Magnolia Mini stamps. Unfortunately those are at this point not available online but the new Fall Kit can now be pre-ordered :-)

Stamps: Magnolia Mini Collection stamps

Papers: craps from Basic Grey Bittersweet

Vintage Love

Hello a good start into the weekend. Today i have lots of pictures. The card was made for "Stamp with Fun" Challenge blog. The theme is to make a "vintage" card. I used for my card a Tilda which can be found in the Christmas 2008 Collection and combined her with a stamp from the "Love" 2009 Collection. The tag behind the focal point image can be pulled out and be used for a personal note to the recipient.

All layers of the card are heavily distressed. Here is a close up shot from the inside of the card. I used Shimmerz new product Spritz in "Baby Breath" It does look soooo pretty! If you like you can go over to the blog and put your entry in to win some of the new Shimmerz Spritz colors!

okay.. you probably think iam going nuts now to decorate also the back of my cards ? noooope..and i don't think i will start it :-) I have made this tag with all the sewing to add to the inside of the card but it just did not look "RIGHT" so i used an other tag and this one i just did not want to throw in the trash.

Stamps: Magnolia can be purchased at 7kids College Fund

little splatters is from a retiered stamps set by Stampin up called itty bitty backgrounds

Papers: K&Company "Madeline" 8.5 x 8.5 found at Michaels

I mixed on a piece of scrap paper Shimmerz paints in Caramel and Candle light and just brushed the paint over the entire image. It does look really elegant and it was really easy and effortless to make.

I always loved the wonderful papers that were in the K&Company paper stack "Bailey" i pretty much "saved" those papers for "good times". It was definitely time to use them. The rose in the front was cut out and added to my card front using pop up dots. I thought it looks very nice with Tilda holding the rose.

Edit to add: This card is sold to Isabelle T. - Thank you so much!

Hello and happy Friday! Again iam in a hurry with my posting for today :-) I played the lottery with this card :-) I spoke with some of my fellow Magnolia DT friends and some of them have recieved the very new Easter stamps already in the mail. So, yesterday i have waited and waited to see if my stamps would arrive too, so i could use them for the card using Kristines sketch for the Friday Sketcher :-) but nothing yet buuuhuuu.. i hope today i will have some mail from Sweden :-) So i picked this lovely Tilda stamp and omitted the hearts she is blowing and added instead some punched out butterflies. I think it does look pretty "springy"

On my card for today i have set the the 2 requested panels not straight to my card. If you like check out my other sample card that could also give you some inspiration how 2 Magnolia images could work for the Sketch over on the Friday Sketcher.

This is a close up shot to show you how absolutely amazingly the Shimmerz paints work for the Magnolia wings :-) I used for my card here the "Pixie Dust" paint. Simply wonderful and not overpowering you can still see the lines of the stamped image underneath.

Stamps: Magnolia blowing hearts from the Love Collection - you can find her at Magnolia-licous!

Sentiment by Amuse Artstamps
Paper: Stampin up Orchid Opulence, Wild Wasabi DP Making Memories 8x8 Spring Fling found at Target the other day :-)

Gift Tags

Hello and happy Thursday. Thank you for swinging by today - if you came to leave me a comment because you have seen my "Tough Guy" card over for CCT Challenge - THANK YOU SO much! :-) I can not show this card here on this blog but you could see that card in bigger on "Pretty Cards" thats my second blog. I have posted there today 2 cards.

I did not want to show anything here - it is not much only 3 little tags i have made to decorate gifts. :-) I like to use images iam not happy with my coloring for that. Most of the time my Copic marker makes a big "blub" of ink just when iam about to finish... it is so upsetting. Rather than tossing the image in the trash. i keep it and try using it on other things. Stamps: Magnolia can be found in the Love Collection 2009 and Shabby Chic Collection 2008,

Thank you!
Hugs and Love Claudia
